/Signed. it was better before to be able to vote for maps please for March after 6 months of trying this method could we admit we've tried it and it aint the best way forward and either go back to the old way or try something else Thanks for trying something though it does'nt hurt to try. maybe the servers could have been split to test and try stuff so that we could see the difference rather than have stuff forced Freedom of Choice FTW !

But it is the best way. Devs and id software staff itself implied this is the reason why the game is still up and running, expressly saying the game is sort of healthy now directly because of rotation+noCV (which is practically forcing everyday players to pay but leaving once a month players with the option) and that is not going to change soon.

People that pay for the game still have freedom of choice and objectively the game is better for paying customers than it used to be before, with more people playing on premium servers, more and better online competition than before, not all public games are ca on dm6 now.

And as you probably know by now, in life freedom = paying = money. You have to pay to own a yacht or french fries: there isn't a constitutional right to that and both can't be paid with good will or complaining, just like there isn't and you can't in QL.
It's not like you sit at the front of a starbucks and say "I demand $24 of free coffee every year". You just pay for it, probably by going there 4 days (4 coffees and stuff. At most 2 hours of enjoyment) instead of 365 days of QL (hundreds of hours of enjoyment).

Just logged in yesterday after a hiatus, ready to play, invite some buddies to join, but lo and behold, no map selection. That just kills it. Everyone wants to start out with maps they know and move into newer ones at will. This kills it for my casual quake buddies, and essentially me. :/

/signed off course .
Come on you guys are ruining the game = more people going to other game . A lot of my ingame friend went back to UT , to Q3 and in the worst case shootmania ! Oh and i prefer to pay 100 euro for the complete game that to pay for the subscription of quake live think about that :P
